Receiving real-time traffic
information (TMC)
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) provides

dents. To enable the TMC receiver, complete
the below steps.

p When traffic information that may affect
your route is received, this system will warn
you that it is recalculating the route, and
navigation will continue with a new route
that is optimal considering the most up-to-
date traffic conditions.
p TMC is not a global service. It may not be
available in your country or region. Ask your
local dealer for coverage details.
To fine-tune this calculation, you can set the
minimum delay that can trigger a route recal-
culation, or you can instruct the software to
have you confirm the new recommended
route before it takes effect.
Checking the traffic
incidents on the map
You can check the details of traffic incidents
on the map.
p Road segments affected by traffic incidents
are displayed with an alternate colour on
the map, and small symbols above the road
show the nature of the incident.
p A special icon
appears on the Map
screen to show you whether traffic inci-
dents are being received. The icon
shows the status of the traffic receiver
when there are no traffic incidents on your
route; otherwise when there is an event on
your route, the traffic icon displayed on the
Map screen shows the type of the next traf-
fic event on your route.
